Johnson isn’t the whole package, but neither is Chisora. I think Johnson will out class Chisora, as long as he feels like fighting, that is….

No, Johnson won’t be upsetting anyone because he does not throw punches. In order to be successful in a fight you must throw punches of some sort.

I don’t care whether Ali was the greatest or not. He was a funny as fvck and often had his tongue firmly in his cheek. Unlike the current crop who have their heads firmly up their @ss.

@ Piechucker: I don’t think that Johnson has a poor skill-set, HOWEVER, I think he usually doesn’t use his skill-set. That being said, he weighed in 240, which is six pounds less than his fight with Devon Vargas. IF Johnson uses his skill set, giving Chisora plenty of side-to-side movement, using his excellent left jab, thus setting up combinations, and is aggressive, I think he’ll give Chisora a boxing lesson. It’ll depend on which Johnson shows up tomorrow night.

both fighters have poor skillsets. chisoras right hand looks comical when thrown,. chisora will win this fight purely on aggression, which he has in spades. Safteypin as we all know doesn’t like to brawl and is extremely passive. easy money to be made betting on chisora for the KO (though that outcome will likely be the shortest odds)

Goosey… I said above and behind the ear… In other words, behind the head… You could say it was a judgement call and not to call it a foul blow if you’re a Brit — I call it a foul. It wasn’t a clearly legal blow like Wilder hit Lyakhovich, which was right above the ear, not behind the ear like Liakhovich partisans were trying to say.

An inch behind the ear is the back of the head. You don’t have to come in from behind and punch somebody exactly in back of the head, like Hatton did to Floyd, when Floyd was outside the ropes. That was deliberate and a point deduction. Chisora’s blow was accidental but it shouldn’t have counted because it was illegal…

But even if it was legal Scott beat the count. He was clearly not counted out. He was up at 9.

“In those days, going to the HOF was almost as automatic as turning pro.”

Really? Ali was sick when he lost to Holmes. Ali’s prime was 1960s.

TARK.” He got hit above and behind the ear, and not with massive impact.” So what happened to all that “He got hit on the back of the head” crap you have been spouting recently? Did you finaly watch the video?

TARK..”British commentator Barry McGuigan said it wasn’t a clean punch, and I hold the same view.” Barry McGuigan had nothing to do with the commentary of the fight… Scott said “He hit me with a good shot.”

Ali beat HOFers like Ancient Archie Moore. Moore was 54 years old and started his professional career at 143 pounds when he was 20. So he fought for 34 years and was damned near on social security when Ali fought him.

Ali lost to HOFer Larry Holmes. Ali lost every round by 67 or more punches. Ali quit in his corner because Holmes was beating his brains in, and Ali never landed a good punch all night.

Ali lost to HOFer Joe Frazier. Frazier had an enlarged heart, blood pressure over 294/160, and was blind in one eye. Frazier entered an athletic competition against other athletes.. Joe came in dead last in swimming, sprinting, hitting, bowling, golfing, bicycling, and rowing. Most of the time Joe was so slow that everyone had picked up all the equipment and went home before Frazier finally crossed the finish line.

In those days, going to the HOF was almost as automatic as turning pro. Ingemar Johansson is in the HOF and he won only 1 or 3 title fights. Ingo had to quit Boxing at a young age. He couldn’t box and was getting hit too much.. Wladimir would knock Ingo out with the 1st punch he threw.

This pundit says.., “we have all seen Malik Scott getting up before the referee counted to 10, yet in the end it probably wouldn’t have mattered.”

“Probably” is one of those loose and subjective words—especially when you consider Scott was ahead on points and could have gotten up at any time… Scott took a 9 count as a precaution. He got hit above and behind the ear, and not with massive impact. But it was an equilibrium shot, where if you get up too fast your legs might be slightly unsteady … and a house referee won’t give you an honest shot. When he saw it was counted as a knockdown he did the smart thing.

British commentator Barry McGuigan said it wasn’t a clean punch, and I hold the same view.

If that pic is Johnson at 240, he couldn’t possibly drop to cruiser and lose 40 pounds. I’ll buy this card. I know its kind of a rip off, but hopefully they’ll show the Hughie fight too.

I think Kevin should try in drop to cruiserweight cause the heavyweight division ain’t cutting it. Chisora is trash imo in if he loses to Chisora then yea that’s a sign buddy

Mr gav

Chisora needs rounds and at least Johnson will give him that, I don’t think the crowd will be on there edge of their seats for this fight but it’s a good fight for chisora if he dosnt punch himself out of course.
